233 Sickly princess Wu Genji
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ
As soon as Song Yan retracted her powers, Young miss Wu gasped out loud clutching her chest as if she was in pain. Immediately, the three Wu brothers surrounded her their expressions full of concern, they looked at their sister who was breathing hard through her mouth with her right hand squeezing her chest." Genji, are you okay?" asked Wu Jin as he crouched down in front of his sister and immediately motioned for the doctor at standby to come and check Wu Genji.
" This is why I said there was no need for you to push yourself," the second master of the Wu family and Wu Genji's second brother scolded his sister for being stubborn. " I told you that it was dangerous didn't I?" His eyes dimmed slightly as he added. " With Haito gone the house has already lost all of its laughter, so why are you pushing yourself too? What if we have to make another round of the hospital?"
" Lixin what are you saying?" snapped the man behind Wu Genji, his eyes shining with annoyance as he glared at his second brother. " Are you worried about our little princess or cursing her? What kind of words are those?"
The eldest master of the Wu family was a ruthless man, one that wasn't to be trifled with, if Wu Jin was a smiling tiger then the eldest master of the Wu family was a lone wolf, with his tall and broad build he towered over his brothers. His phoenix eyes always seemed to be glazed with a layer of ice and when he glared at someone, just one glance was enough to make the person being glared ——shiver.
Wu Lixin was in the same situation right now, as soon as the glare of his brother landed on him, he trembled and lowered his head in submission. " I am sorry brother, I shouldn't have said something like that, please forgive me."
" Eldest brother Qinfan, why do you have to scold second brother Lixin like that?" chided Wu Genji as she coughed into her napkin and took the medicine that the doctor handed her. She took the glass of water from her third brother and popped the tablet in her mouth before swallowing it, only then did she continue, " Brother Lixin is just worried about our little Haito, he didn't mean any harm." She pouted before glaring at her Brother Qinfan before turning to look at Wu Lixin as she grasped his hands and patted them with her delicate ones. " Don't worry brother Lixin, I am sure we will be able to catch the culprit. Haito will be back soon."
Wu Lixin smiled at her weakly.
His sister was optimistic by nature and she still believed that Haito will return but he was a man who braved through business wars every day, how could he still hold hope that his son will be alright? It has been a week and yet there was no news of his son. If the kidnappers took his little Haito for monetary benefits then they would have called by now but a week has passed and there was no news of his son.
Hell, apart from his clothes that were thrown in a faraway village, Wu Lixin and the entire Wu family couldn't find a single clue about where his son was taken away and how.
After a week of waiting for the ransom call, Wu Lixin was certain that something wrong must have befallen his son. Now, all he wanted was to find the person behind the kidnapping of his son and bring his son to justice, only then will he feel all right!
This was something both Wu Qinfan and Wu Jin also understood but neither of them said anything because they were afraid that they will upset their sister and cause her to go into shock. She was already so frail and sickly, if she was to hear something as bad as the death of her nephew, then she will surely cry until she fainted.
The Wu brothers didn't say a thing and Wu Genji didn't pry either, after she was done taking her medicine, she peered at her neck and looked around the banquet hall before asking, " Brother Jin, is Brother Sheng here? I last saw him when he came to meet me when I turned twelve. I want to have a little chat with him, just look at him forgetting his little sister just like that."
Wu Jin stiffened upon hearing his sister's question. Though Wu Genji never said anything, he knew that his little sister dreamed of becoming lovers from childhood sweethearts with Fu Yu Sheng. Even when she was young, she would pin after Fu Yu Sheng but then Fu Yu Sheng got married and he thought that it would be the end of it but who would have thought that his eldest brother would stop him from telling Wu Genji that Fu Yu Sheng got married.
His eldest brother said that he didn't want to hurt Wu Genji and because his youngest sister was indeed really sick at that time, Wu Jin too didn't tell her anything. Later on, when his sister grew up, he wanted to tell Wu Genji about Fu Yu Sheng's marriage but his brother said that Song Yan and Fu Yu Sheng will surely divorce given that Song Yan wasn't worthy of Fu Yu Sheng but it has been eight years and they even have a son together, divorce seemed like a far fetched idea now.
" He is but——" began Wu Jin but Wu Genji didn't listen to him instead she turned to her eldest brother and said, " Brother Qinfan let's go and greet Brother Sheng! I need to scold him for ignoring me after leaving the country let's see if he still remembers me or not!"
Wu Jin tried to warn his brother, asking him to refuse Wu Genji's request but who was Wu Qinfan? He refused to get married to another woman because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to give his complete attention to his sister. A man who even refused to get married for his sister's sake how will say no to his sister for something so small?
